Unlocking Kodak: Analyzing the Potential of a Conceptual Album

I think Kodak, if he was to get the right production and do a conceptual album, it would put him in one of those conversations where, okay, we might have to take Kodak Black serious. He won’t be a joke. I don’t think he’s a joke. I thought his place in Mr. Morale kind of set that up, right? Yeah, he set it up, but he didn’t do it. He kind of deviated back. Exactly. He needs to get out of his comfort zone, is what I’m saying. I think he’s one of the most misunderstood people in music, period, but I think he’s also one of the most underrated rappers. He actually says some shit a lot. It’s just maybe the same thing as the West Coast, where it’s hard to understand him in certain places. His sound is very different. It’s very Florida. Even on this, he said, I got mustard on the beat like a sandwich. That’s clever. That’s funny. He had bars in there where I was like, oh, he’s really talking his shit. And I think if he made an album similar to Mr. Morale, where there were still some songs that could be played on the radio, there’s still some songs that could be played in the club, but it had that concept. He was talking about weather control on a song once. There’s a song called Spar with Dreezy. It’s in my opinion, not only one of his best verses, but one of the best verses I had heard in a long time. And I was like, oh, he can go there.
